to fire McAdoo and Reese.
Start Webb, OK. I could possibly see some logic in that, but start Geno? Why?
Maybe he has a chance to be the starter next year? HA!
Maybe he'll play so well other teams will make trade offers? HA!
This is a bad joke on top of a disaster of a season. So fucked up. Fire these fucking idiots now. This is the absolute worst.
And it's because of the decision to start Geno Smith over the rookie QB. I'm be unhappy with the decision as well if they started Webb but at least it's more understandable to see what he has in a lost season. BUT to choose Geno Smith over Eli Manning? To say that Geno who has zero future with the team, gives you a better chance to win than Eli, I do view as a horrible insult.
Eli has had a crappy year and wasn't that good last year either - but a lot of what's going on here isn't his fault.
I feel really bad for him. But this is the reality of the league... he's had a long, successful career.
It's like having to put a pet down. You know at best, you'll get about 12 years or so if everything goes well, but inevitably, that day is going to come.. here we are.
We all know what Geno can do, don't halt Eli's streak for that. What we need to know is how far Webb has progressed. For goodness sake what has happened to this franchise? They can bring him for the second half.
In a year where this organization has been an embarassment..... Â
where we've seen our players urinate like dogs on the field. Players give each other up through back channels in the media. We've seen players quit. We've seen the head coach throw people under the bus.
After all this, you allow the most stand up man in that room and the face of the franchise (even if moreso the past than future) to fall on the sword?
Geno over Webb - the more I think about it, this make sense. once you decide to see what the other guys have, you have to start Geno for game or 2 and allow Webb to take more reps in practice and get him ready for the final 2-3 games.
If geno sucks, you get Webb in quicker... if Geno looks good, well that is a different and more interesting dilemma. either way, it probably makes more sense than starting Webb cold.
People actually think this decision is all McAdoos'? Â

I think this has to be Reese and Mac hoping that if Geno plays well then they can ise Eli as a scapegoat and potentially save their jobs. I don't see what else this could possibly be.
A couple of classless fucks who've run this team into the ground and their looking to deflect blame.
At least I won't have to watch this week
So we are officially in "not-trying-to-win" mode Â
and I really thought that, given the way the Giants do business, they would let him ride out the season. But I guess that stinkbomb in Washington was the last straw, even for management (who are undoubtedly okay with this - frankly it hints that they may be more behind McAdoo than many suspect).
Eli, I will try my best to be there when you're enshrined in the Hall!
and I do not believe anyone who says they aren't watching the upcoming game(s) or are done with the Giants. have youe temper tantrum and then you'll be back here next week either saying "I told you so" if Geno sucks, or offering excuses why the Giants offense looked better under him.
They want to see what they have in Geno and Davis. They give Eli the option to start to preserve streak. Eli says no thanks - don't need the facade of a streak.
Geno starts to allow Webb to not freak out in his first start but to get comfortable before he comes in.
I don't see the issue. Everyone wanted to see Webb eventually anyway. Starting Geno takes some pressure off of Webb.
this could be an Eddie Giacomin returns situation Â
In any case, it stinks. Simms got benched by Handley it happens. Just never believed it would happen for Geno Smith.
When? Simms lost a QB battle to a guy that won you the Super Bowl the previous season.
This has ZERO comparison.

I can totally understand the shock regarding Eli, but not Geno. Webb will get his shot and some playing time.
The guy continues to have little to no awareness of the pulse of the team.
It is almost as if there is an intentional desire to fuck things up as much as possible.
Too last for that........but Mac might have just sealed his deal.
First I welcomed my second son into this world this morning.
The second being the day Eli was benched.
This has been a doozy of a day.
Congratulations.

Heartfelt congratulations!
I can't stand the Eagles, but I hope they run a train on the Giants like a ginger assigned to laundry duty in Attica. Fuck this Team. Fuck Ben.
What kind of mental gymnastics did you do to reach that conclusion? This has nothing to do with REESE* (notice the spelling)

Congrats man!!
Ugh.
Eli should demand a trade.
the giants are at least right on one thing that now is evaluation mode... across the board.
Not to be a dick but get over it. Eli will.
I didn't want this either but benching Eli won't hurt this franchise one bit. We haven't reached the point of no return.
Fans are going ape shit. Whatever.
After all this, you allow the most stand up man in that room and the face of the franchise (even if moreso the past than future) to fall on the sword?
What a disgrace!
Guess I was wrong.
And I hope no one again offers verbal support to this franchise by calling them a "classy organization". They lost my respect.

It's officially time to move on

You lost me at "If Geno Sucks"..............
But I'm shocked he wouldnt just 'start' the last 5 games, play a few snaps... then continue that streak somewhere else (Jacksonville?) next season.

Play Eli...game gets out of hand play Webb.
Geno Smith isn't going to do anything for the evaluation process.
Giants making a horrid decision, in a season that I repeat is already over.
Unless this is their idea of tanking? WTF.

Although I don't think he was catching Favre anyway
